The spokesperson of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the exact number of anti-aircraft missile systems that Ukraine will receive cannot be made public yet.
“We are talking about two batteries that have not only launchers, but also certain machines for charging, identifying targets and maintaining complexes,” the command’s spokesman added.
At the same time, he noted that the capacity of manufacturers is not unlimited and the supply of air defense systems NASAMS and IRIS-T to Ukraine is not a quick process.
“Unfortunately, everything will happen gradually and not as quickly as we would like today,” Ignat emphasized.
